Counting!

Woody!

Logan is in love with Woody, even before he saw the movies! Now that he's seen the movies he's over the moon for Toy Story anything. So my parents, like the sweeties they are, sent Logan new Woody shoes (I had been eyeing) and a toy story tent. He loves it! Thank you so much!! Muah!

He likes the tent on the ground best, he got pretty angry when we put on his bed! We got one good photo of it on his bed but the rest were not pretty.

First Haircut

Even though I love LOVE my Logan's curls..it was finally time for the first cut. I have been correcting people on him being a boy for the last 4 months and to top it off it's too hot here! I'm thinking of cutting off all my hair!! Although I took tons of photos during the haircut none of them turned out that great..unfortunatley he was moving too much. Good thing he made it out with hair at all! You can see in the bottom blurry pic Adam's hair is cut super short as well. I also got a trim and style but no one seems to notice. If I have time maybe I'll post a pic of all of us with our new do's!

To give you an idea of how long it was, check out this pic.

What the? Who is that kid? Hmmm....alright I can dig it.

Just like Dad!

Adam had to leave on a three week tour last week. He got Logan a guitar (or gee-tar as Logan says) before he left. Logan has not put it down! He praises himself after he plays for 30 seconds, he jumps saying "Yay!". It's very cute! He is doing great! He's favorite thing to say this month is, " I need... (whatever it is at the moment)." So he "needs" everything right now. He also can count to 3! He sometimes gets mixed up and says 3 first but he's learning! The other day he handed me a chalk yelling "a loo aloo " I had no idea what he was talking about. I finally looked at the chalk and saw it was blue. I then said, "Logan are you saying blue?" he of course replied "yea!" very nonchalantly. We tested him later by asking what color bunch of blue things were and he knew! It's amazing how fast they learn!

Below is Logan yelling, "yay!" for himself!
He is really concentrating...

Look Dad I can play with my mouth! Beat that!

"Wow!" is what he was saying. I forgot why.

Crazy rock star face!

And he's a real rock star...he plays naked!

Going Vegan!

Above was tonight's dinner and boy was it DE-LISH! Also completely Vegan!


Below is an open faced tosada I made for lunch. Totally Vegan! Thats our household theme right now.
Above was Tuesday nights dinner and below was Thursday nights dinner.

We found out my mother-in-law has stage 4 Ovarian cancer last week. Which of course really really ..really sucks! But we are all taking a very positive out look and looking at how we can beat this. We read an article from the John Hopkins Medical Assosication and they explain how meat, dairy and sugar feed cancer. Then her Dr. comfirmed this theory and now together, we have all become Vegans! She will of course be doing Chemo and even some new medicine to go along with it. Meanwhile eating a very healthy all organic Vegan diet and drinking lots of green tea. All we can do is find a way to be cause and this is mine...cooking.
I think we are feeling better too and I personally feel like I have more energy.
So this week we have had:

Monday: Eggplant Parmesean with rice mozzerella and quinoa pasta & homemade sauce

Tuesday: sweet potatoe wild rice cakes with a spring salad and green beans and red potatoes.


Wedneday: Stuffed Zucchini shells with an Almond bread crumb filling & red pepper sauce (a tad too hot. I added almond milk to cool it down.), brown rice and spring salad.

Thursday: Sweetpotatoe & Eggplant baked with Rosemerry and Thyme (next time no Thyme) with Quinoa and a potatoe carrot and beet salad and a spring salad.

Friday: Falafal stuffed Pitas! Sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, avacadoe, Falafal (of course!) and homemade Vegan Tzatziki sauce. We also had red bean soup on the side. Doesn't really go with the Greek theme but it tasted great!

Let me know if anyone wants any of these recipes! I am going to post the up coming weeks menu very soon!

Eat well and take care!

Mom

Mom: ME..that is who I am. I celebrated Mothers day just Logan and I. We played chalk, blew bubbles, had a big yummy breakfast and went to the beach for sunset. I have always ALWAYS wanted to be a mom but never really knew how amazing it would be till I had Logan.
So Mothers day was about celebrating both of us because he made me... MOM.
I enjoy every second of everyday that I spend helping and teaching my son about life. He is an amazing person and one day he will be an amazing man!

He loves the water! He was yelling in excitement and splashing like crazy!

All Grown Up

Logan went the entire day yesterday and today without having one accident! I'm not saying he is fully potty trained but we are getting there.=) He is also on his second day with no bottles. He uses regular cups and sippy cups now. I thought that was going to be difficult but he was totally fine with it.

I'm very proud of my big boy! Because he has done so well, I got him a reward. I got him an Iron man and "piderman" shirt. He was soo happy! Every morning all he wants me to put on him is iron man or piderman. But we only have 3 and so some mornings I have a very angry bare chested child. Now we have shirts for five days!=) And Ricki you are so right! Potty training feels like such an accomplishment for me. So yes, I'm proud of myself too.

Not sure if I mentioned this before but his one and only movie he will watch is "This is It" (the Micheal Jackson movie). He only wants to watch and listen to "EEHEE" that's what he calls it. His favorite song is "Beat It" and he sings it. His latest move is holding up is arms and going "AAAHHH...OUH!". Yes, he is obsessed. So we have incorporated our potty into this. Hah!

At the park in his new Iron man shirt without diapers or bottles. I have a one year old going on seven! I guess he is allot like me after all!=)
